A RARE PHOTO OF TOM JONES AND HIS WIFE LINDA
We were fascinated when this photo of Tom Jones and his wife Linda turned up because they’re almost never photographed together. They were seen leaving a video rental store in LA. UK papers say that Linda lives in Tom’s Beverly Hills mansion but she rarely goes out because she supposedly suffers from agoraphobia. She leaves the house rarely and when Tom is around to accompany her and he is often out of town on tour. Apparently Linda doesn’t take part in Tom’s glamorous lifestyle and she has turned a blind eye to his many flirtations. She and Tom were only 16 when they wed back in 1957.

The picture is so ‘rare’ you found it on the internet. We don’t want to read about these living corpses.

Well Janet, you’ve done it again! You scooped everyone else! Keep up the good work on all those celebrities popular in the 1970s.

I think it’s a good story. I feel for this poor lady whose husband has abandoned her. I wish she had an advocate in her life.

Hey guys,
I realize a lot of you aren’t any older than 18 or so, but, give these two some respect- Married at 16 in 1957 & STILL MARRIED !!!???
WOW!
Tom Jones was big back in the day, & alot of us born before 1980 are happy to see a mix of celebrity info.
There are only so many pix of Shitney & LiBlow one can stand.
So, please allow the RARE moments when Janet gives us a “blast from our past.”
You all will be in our shoes one day.

Hey J-9…U did good; couldn’t have said it better. Now for my two sense (er, cents)…Tom Jones has always been a ho-monger. And, (for the older set), we have long known Linda still sticks by him and they prob will never divorce. The only thing I wonder about is does she not worry that he will catch a disease and give her the gift that keeps on giving?

Unbelievable responses from some. Love the photo, Janet. Linda looks lovely,even with the weight. Happy to see Tom is happy enough to be seen around with her.
Hope she’s happy and contented.

Hey, I’d rather be married to Tom Jones and have him cheat than be married to some unsuccessful guy living from paycheque to paycheque who also cheats. At least she has money and celebrity power to keep her company when he’s catting around. When other women’s husbands cat around, what do they have? Kraft dinner.

Linda, even tho you don’t seem to care,….Tom HAS broken the 7th Commandment repeatedly. So, putting myself in your place, here is what I would do. I would say to myself that then it is OK for me to break the 11th Commandment. So what is the 11th Commandment? It’s the one that says “Thou shalt not chop off thy hubby’s balls and whizzer and feed them to the birds”.

Tom, you are a sinner; whether Linda lets you get by with it or not is beside the point. BTW, always wondered…who is taller you or little Tommy Cruise and/or who wears the highest shoe lifts?

Good for them! It’s nice to see “real people” and not some trade-up,botoxed,cheek and breast implanted clone.

Nice going Mich- Absolutely right !
To stay with someone & have lived thru all of the life stages is a real testament to REAL LOVE.
Sure, it’s easy these days to “trade up” as you say… it’s nice & refreshing to see a couple stick it out.That’s exactly what marriage means.
Marriage ain’t an easy thing to do- Hardly anyone is anymore…….

Uh, are there words??? Well, yes. It is WELL KNOWN that Tom Jones has cheated on his wife for DECADES and is only still married to her for financial reasons. But jeeze, could she take a little better care of herself? My parents are their ages and look a WHOLE lot better than she does.

Has anyone noticed that Janet and Linda have the same hair color and have never been photographed together? Could they be one and the same? Look at their faces.

I give them alot of credit for staying married all those years. I’m certain the number of temptations must have been exceptional but I gotta ‘big up’ the man for living up to his wedding vowes!
Linda looks unatractive and masculine in the more recent photo and no doubt that puts many of the younger viewers off.

She can keep a man for fifty years that woman is amazing. Pity though she did not take better care of herself. With all her money surely she can have work done at the home. But what a perfect excuse for Tom to cheat. She can’t leave the house to catch them.

I was an entertainer in Vegas 10 yrs ago and I knew a girl named Kimberly – dancer / singer who was having a torrid affair with him for over 2 years. His wife was his manager…

It’s nice to hear that a couple stays together for 51 years. She doesn’t look that different from other women in their mid 60s so lay off her.
And Janet, don’t listen to the young ones who only want to hear about Britney, some of us “oldies” like to hear about the older celebrities.

Janet it is being reported that Mary-Kate called Tom Jones after receiving the call from the masseuse. Could you look into this?

What in the world!?! This is not Tom with his wife. This is Tom Jones with his sister Sheila! Shame on you whoever put this up in the first place!

The fact that he is still with her today. Speaks for itself.
Torriad affairs happen, but never last. Besides, I’ll bet most are made up. Just to keep that person name in the celebrity tabloids.
Look at Britney Spears, she’s always up to something. I thought she shaved her hair – my-my how fast that stuff grows, eh?

She would do wise to get a personal trainer to lose some of that weight, him too.
That insecure feeling of that phobia will go away when those pounds start coming off.
Try telling that to millions of Americans who are over weight, though. The Jones could lead by example… Imagine if they did buckle down and looked at what they ate on a daily basis.
Wonder what kind of exercise they’ve participated in the last 10 years? I’ll bet he could get Arnold and he could point them in the right direction as to what to do.
I’m surprise that guy doesn’t have a weight loss book out or maybe Tom Jones could write one.
You ought check out some of those british rockers who are kinda chubby as well.

Are you sure that’s the same lady ? It looks like she’s grown about a foot or more over those years together…
She almost looks like his sister !
No doubt, she’s his best friend.
Nice fleece jacket !

It looks to me like he was just following some lady out of Blockbuster Videos. – holding the door for her.

He still looks handsome, but the years have not been kind to his wife. She looks like a tranny, and not a good looking one at that. No wonder he spends so much time catting around.

everyone seems to side with tom on all of this, he is a dirtbag, how cruel could he be to his wife.. and throwing it in her face. its no wonder she has issues,,and is terrified to do anything, anytime she walks out of the house alone she is bombarded with stares and whispers of what tom has done to her, he needs to lose his whole fan following for what he has done to her, if it was she who did the cheating, she would be the biggest whore in the world and poor tom,, what a joke

THIS IS DEFINITELY TOM’S OLDER SISTER SHEILA.
I HAVE BEEN A TOM JOES FAN FOR DECADES AND I HAVE SEEN PHOTOS OF HIS FAMILY FOR DECADES AS WELL. SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE TOM JONES’S WIFE.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT AND STOP ASSUMING THINGS WHEN PRESENTING PHOTOS.
TOM’S WIFE, MELINDA, (OR LINDA AS SHE’S KNOWN) IS RARELY PHOTOGRAPHED.

REGARDING THE LARGER COLOR PHOTO OF TOM JONES ACCOMPANIED BY A TALL & RATHER MATRONLY WOMAN LEAVING A VIDEO STORE:
THE WOMAN IS HIS OLDER SISTER SHEILA.

Probably was Sheila. I think Linda will never leave the house. All that money doesn’t buy happiness or at least the mental health help she so deperately needs. It’s very sad.

His wife? Big scoop?!!! Haha. It’s his SISTER, you great stupid bloody cow!!!!
How’s that for a scoop??!!
That’s the kind of trash that “big time” Hollywood reporters and UK reporters publish when they can’t find “real” news.
Shame on you!! Sir Tom and Lady Linda have to put up with enough crap without the likes of “reporters” like you!! Crawl back under your rock!!
